Rearrangement Information

NamemIn1 View on WormBase
DescriptionHandling: Easy to manipulate. Heterozygous males mate well. mIn1[dpy-10(e128) mIs14] carries an integrated pharyngeal GFP element; expression is semi-dominant, such that one copy of mIs14 can be distinguished from two by GFP signal brightness. REARRANGEMENT may have occurred in the integration event, as lethal mutations in the far left extent of the balanced region are not as stable over the GFP variant as they are over the original mIn1. Recommended use: General balancing, strain construction, strain maintenance, mutant screens. Summary: Inversion, well characterized, very stable. Very effective balancer for center portion of LG II from lin-31 through rol-1. Growth characteristics: Original isolate marked with dpy-10(e128). Brood size similar to N2 as heterozygote. Homozygotes do not survive freezing well.

VC926 szy-4(ok1420)/mIn1 [mIs14 dpy-10(e128)] II. C. elegans C30B5.1. Homozygous sterile deletion chromosome balanced by GFP- and dpy-10-marked inversion. Heterozygotes are WT with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT dim GFP, Dpy bright GFP (mIn1 homozygotes), and non-GFP ok1420 homozygotes (sterile adult). Pick WT dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Attribution: This strain was provided by the C. elegans Reverse Genetics Core Facility at the University of British Columbia, which is part of the international C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use.

C. elegans Heterozygotes are superficially WT (DTC migration defects) with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate superficially WT (DTC migration defects) with dim GFP, Dpy with bright GFP (mIn1 homozygotes), and non-GFP gk388 homozygotes. Pick WT dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Reference: Burke SL, Hammell M, Ambros V. Genetics. 2015 Jun 15.
VT3077 nDf50/mIn1 [mIs14 dpy-10(e128)] II; sup-26(n1091) III; her-1(n695) V. C. elegans Pick wild-type GFP+ to maintain. Heterozygotes are WT with GFP+ pharynx, and segregate Dpy GFP+ mIn1 homozygotes, and GFP- low viability non-Egl hermaphrodites. Viability of first generation nDf50 homozygotes (GFP-) segregated from balanced heterozygotes is rescued by maternal contribution of mir-35-41 from balancer. Second generation GFP- animals are low viability. Reference: McJunkin K, Ambros V. Genes Dev. 2017 Feb 15;31(4):422-437.
